I’m a bit late to the party on this one, just got my rental copy. But I notice it’s only recently come out on Xbox, so better late than never I guess.

 

I’ve done the first two missions so far, and it’s quite fun. You play as either a male or female kung-fu student, seeking revenge on an enemy gang. The twist is that every time you die, you get immediately resurrected, but age one year. You start off at age 20. Supposedly as you get older, you get stronger, but age too much and you get weaker. 
 

The combat seems straightforward enough so far. I’ve enjoyed smashing bottles on people’s heads, slamming them into walls. It also turns out you can attack people in mid conversation. So while enemies have been giving me exposition, I’ve dashed in and punched them in the face. Good times.

Easily my GOTY last year. Fucking fantastic game. Going to buy it again to play through on Xbox I think.

Finished it this morning, well the “kill everyone” ending. Bloody good fun. Did a few of the battle arenas, bit beyond my skill level.

In a day wtf?! How? It took me a while to do my first completion.
